8th and H Retail Center
721 H Street N.E.

H Street CDC developed the 6,500-square-foot retail facility at 8th and H Streets N.E., on property that had been vacant, abandoned, and a neighborhood eyesore and center of criminal activity for many years. The Center includes a Foot Locker store, a SunTrust ATM facility, a Sprint Wireless store, and Wilson-Epes Printing.

Atlas Theater
1333 H Street N.E.

The H Street CDC completed the sale of the historic but long-vacant Atlas Theater in September 2002 to an affiliate of the Sprenger Lang Foundation for renovation as the Atlas Performing Arts Center. The new theater and dance studio opened in March 2005 and soon became the center of the thriving “Atlas district” of restaurants, nightclubs, and entertainment venues.

The H Street CDC acquired the property in 1985 and completed a facade renovation that won recognition by the American Institute of Architects. The H Street CDC then worked to find a suitable developer with a sound proposal that would meet the community’s needs for community revitalization and neighborhood arts. Through this effort, the H Street CDC was instrumental in creating the wealth of new cultural assets and retail and residential development opportunities the area now enjoys.

John A. Wilson Plaza
600 H Street N.E.

A 230,000 square foot, $20 million office/retail project in the 600 block of H Street N.E., was completed in approximately 1990 and leased and occupied by DC Government offices whose hundreds of workers enlivened retail trade in the area. The H Street CDC sold the property in 2006 for residential and retail redevelopment.

H Street CDC purchased and developed this corner parcel as an 8,027 square foot retail facility in 1998. It is leased to USA Auto Zone.

Greater Northeast Medical Center
1647 Benning Road N.E.

Responding to the need for close-to-home health care services in Northeast neighborhoods, H Street CDC developed the Greater Northeast Medical Center as an office building for medical professionals in approximately 1990. Though H Street CDC later sold the property, it continues in operation today as a modern, convenient center for the offices of physicians, optometrists, and dentists.

H Street CDC
501 H Street N.E.

H Street CDC acquired the 501 H Street property when it was vacant and abandoned, and developed it in 1996 for use as its headquarters office and training center. The development served as an anchor to encourage repairs and upgrading of other nearby properties.

13th Street Townhouses
13th and Wylie Streets N.E.

The H Street CDC renovated four townhouses and sold them to first-time homebuyers in 1996, at a time of neighborhood blight when conventional developers were unwilling to invest in the neighborhood.
